Trace element and cytokine imbalances in calves with dermatophytosis
Bovine dermatophytosis is a highly contagious disease that adversely affects animal growth and reduces meat and milk production. Nutritional deficiencies and immune status are suspected risk factors, but their roles remain unclear. This study investigates the association between trace minerals, vitamins, serum biochemical parameters, and immune-related cytokines with bovine dermatophytosis. Forty calves aged 6∼7 months were selected and raised together on the same farm. They were divided into two groups: the control group (n=20) and the infected group (n=20). Serum was collected and analyz...

Heat stress during summer increases Caspase-3 activation in the ovary of domestic sow
The stressful conditions including heat stress negatively affect to the animal’s reproductive performance. Apoptosis of granulosa cells under unexpected stimuli can influence the fate of ovarian follicles and its function. Since the changes in caspase-3, a key executioner of the apoptosis pathway, have not yet been elucidated in heat-stressed sows, this study compared its changes in the ovaries of domestic sows affected by heat stress during summer. The samples were collected at spring (23.1℃; CON group) as suitable temperature for raising pigs or at summer (34.4℃; HS group) as unavo...

Seroprevalence of major respiratory diseases of swine farms in Jeonbuk State
The purpose of this study was to investigate seroprevalence of porcine respiratory diseases including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), porcine circovirus-2 (PCV-2), Mycoplasma hyopneumonia (MH), Pasteurella multocisa A (PMA), Haemophilus parasuis (HP), Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia type 2 (APP2), and Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia type 5 (APP5) in Jeonbuk state by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Total 5488 samples collected from four breeding pig farms and 55 commercial pig farms were tested. The overall seroprevalence of PCV-2, APP2, APP5, PMA, and HP was high...

Investigation of bacterial diversity and analysis of pathogenic bacteria in wild boar nasal microbiota
This study investigated the bacterial diversity and pathogenic bacteria in the nasal microbiota of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in South Korea, focusing on their potential role as reservoirs for pathogens. A total of 252 nasal swab samples were collected from wild boars in Namwon-si and Muju-gun between November 2023 and May 2024. The samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing and culture methods. Thirty-six bacterial species were identified, including 13 pathogenic species such as Streptococcus suis, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia fergusonii. The presence of ...

Comparison of immune response in beagles fed propolis concentrate and propolis/wet food mixture
This study aimed to assess and compare the immune response in beagle dogs following the oral administration of a 5% propolis liquid concentrate and a 1:1 mixture of propolis and wet pet food. To assess the immune response, cell counting kit assays, cytokine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and IL-1 beta, and flow cytometry were conducted. Propolis was administered at a concentration of 5% and a dosage of 20 g, with the beagles monitored over 8 weeks. Three beagles served as controls, while four beagles each were assigned to the propolis-only group and the propolis an...

Concurrent primary malignant tumors in mammary gland and uterus with pyometra and inguinal hernia
In this case study, we present a rare occurrence of simultaneous primary malignant neoplasms arising from the mammary gland and uterus in conjunction with pyometra and inguinal hernia. The subject, a 16-year-old intact mixed-breed dog, exhibited tubulopapillary carcinoma of the mammary gland with grade II malignancy and uterine leiomyosarcoma. Treatment involved partial mastectomy for the mammary carcinoma and ovariohysterectomy for the uterine leiomyosarcoma. Moreover, the inguinal hernia was concurrently repaired during the tumorectomies. The patient demonstrated positive postoperative progr...

Lumpy skin disease outbreak and quarantine in the Incheon area
In 2023, an outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, South Korea, resulted in nine confirmed cases, comprising 8.4% of the national total, a disproportionately high percentage. Epidemiological investigations indicated a significant role of biting insects in viral transmission, particularly in the northern region. However, human-mediated transmission between farms under the same management was also identified. Clinical presentations in infected cattle varied, ranging from anorexia and skin nodules to severe systemic illness. Control measures included culling and burial of infecte...

Efficacy of carprofen administration and rehabilitative intervention in a dog with unilateral forelimb lameness
This case report examines the efficacy of carprofen and rehabilitation therapy in a 7-year-old, 4.5 kg, spayed Poodle with unilateral forelimb lameness. Gait analysis assessed kinetic parameters such as peak vertical force (PVF), vertical impulse (VI), symmetry index (SI), and body load distribution (BLD) before and after treatment. The differences between the left and right forelimbs were recorded. Before intervention, the PVF differences between the forelimbs were −4.00% during walking and 40.00% during trotting. Two weeks post-intervention, these improved to 8.33% and 27.67%, further ...
